Bedbugs are insects that feed on blood, which they obtain by sticking to their favourite hosts: humans. If you want to get rid of them, then read on, because we will tell you how to make them come out of hiding and get rid of them once and for all.
Bedbugs usually bite at night while we sleep and during the day they hide in cracks in furniture, walls, floors or inside mattresses, bed frames, headboards and even in the seams of armchairs.
What can you do to bring bedbugs out of hiding?
If you notice a bedbug in your bed or on any of your furniture, the best thing to do is to locate it quickly before you suffer an infestation.
Nowadays there are several remedies that will help you to bring bedbugs out of hiding, for example, there is a mixture with only two ingredients that will allow you to achieve this goal.
Just mix 70% isopropyl alcohol and 30% water. Use a spray bottle to apply the solution to all the corners where the bedbugs could be.
Wait a few seconds and stay alert, as this liquid will deplete them of oxygen and they will start to come out of hiding.
It is also helpful to use a vaporiser to apply steam at high temperatures to mattresses, furniture and other areas where bed bugs may be hiding. This will cause them to start coming out.
What to do to keep bedbugs away?
Bedbugs are nuisance pests that can quickly invade a home and cause significant discomfort. Avoiding their presence requires taking specific precautions, especially when purchasing furniture or travelling.
First, it is essential to avoid buying used or second-hand furniture as much as possible. These items can harbour bedbugs without you noticing it with the naked eye. If you decide to buy second-hand furniture, be sure to inspect it thoroughly before bringing it home.
Another preventive measure is to inspect mattresses and furniture when visiting unfamiliar places, such as hotels, holiday flats, cruise ships, nursing homes, furniture or thrift shops, and rented homes.
Finally, it is crucial to be aware that bedbugs can be carried on your clothes or suitcases. So when you return from a trip, you should examine and wash all your clothes immediately, and vacuum your luggage.
By following these recommendations, you can reduce the risk of a bedbug infestation in your home, ensuring a cleaner and more comfortable environment.
